Little Harry Beyron, son of Jacob w

on his own hook yesterday. Concealine

A young man from this place named

afternoon he concluded to ride home on
the same kind Of a ticket ha went Gown
on. Concealing himself in Il EoN ear of
the North bound train he started. But
at S. V. Junction the car was side-tracked.
Finding this out Harry jumped out and
| took after the train, running it a long
chase, crying at every jump, but was f.
nally compelled to give up the chase, and
get home some other way. The best way
for small boys is to avaid attempting to
steal rides on railroads. Judge Delaney
had an argument with young Democrat
on the street to-day. The Judge was tell
ing of the number of great men he had
shaved-among them Edwin M. Stanton,
Abraham Lincoln. and others. Phe Dem
ocrat looked wise and asked the Judge
"did you ever shave any -- fools ?"
"Yes-Andy Johnsonl" was the ready
reply.
SUNDAY.-Rev. c. E. Tedford preached
to a good-sized congregation at M. E.
church this morning. Tonight Rev.
Charles Rhodes delivered strong tenn
perance address at the Rink. There was
a good attendance. The speaker touched
upon one point that is assumed by poll
ticians generally who favor the liquor
traffic as means of obtaining power
that is significant and important. Politi-
clans see but little circle of their asso-
ciates, and form their estimate of public
opinion from these The fact is, there is
an overwhelming majority of the people
of Ohio not only opposed to the liquor
traffic, but in favor of prohibiting it.
There is not much noise being made
about it just now, but there is a determi-
nation to vote for temperance men, and,
further, the public officer who sells out to
the liquor business, and will not enforce
the law, will have to go. The temperance
sentiment is growing, in ali parties, too
rapidly to admit of much more fooling
upon this question. "A large train
load of eXcursionists went to Beaver to-
day, besides several rigs.
MoNDAY.-Ninety-ei in the shade,
and little sign of rain. Tom Delays |
new rig is threshing oats this afternoon
at the Widow Mitchell farm. These
traction engines run against some diff
culties in this hillY country, and meet
with an occasional hill that cannot be
pulled up readily, but they run through
with their work rapidly when they get to
work. -. From. reports of those who at
tended, it would seem that there were
some most reprehensible practices going
on at the Camp Meeting grounds-or
rather near the grounds-at Beaver yes
terday. Some fellows had kegs of beer
near the meeting, and there was num-
Der of drunken men. To show what ap-
probation some of the fellows who at
tended had for anything like religious
service, we give the opinion of one who
from this place. Said he, "that
man preached good sermon-one of the
1amnedest best sermons I ever heardp'
The great body of people doubtless attend
such meetings with pure motives-but
there is much genuine devilment going
On. The running of stands and speculat-
ing on Sunday reminded the Jackson peo-
Pile of home, as this town knows nothing
about Sunday. Men got to drinking at
Beaver yesterday who had not drank any
thing for months. This was of course
their own fault rather than that of the
meeting.
TUEsDAY.-Dr. B. F. Holcomb and At
,orney J. L. Jones have rented the rooms
over the First National Bank, for offices.
....Lysander May had a narrow escape
from being crushed by the breaking Of a
rope while hoisting large safe into the
B. s. L. Office, Broadway.
